Heavenly Bear

Heavenly had a hard start in life. 

March 2014, Heavenly was found injured and so thin he probably would not have lived much longer. Alone, with no mother to care for him and teach him to hibernate, the yearling bear tried his best to survive through a lonely, cold winter, near the Heavenly Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, California. It could not have been easy. 

Captured and cared for by a terrific wildlife rehabilitator in Lake Tahoe, Heavenly recovered and was released back to the wild. Unfortunately, within a few weeks he was back near the ski resort, the only place he knew as home, looking for food from people. He was recaptured and would not be released again.   

Heavenly needed a permanent home where he would not be alone or afraid again.  Southwest Wildlife is that home. If you sponsor Heavenly, together we will make sure that he doesn’t have to worry about his next meal. Make Heavenly’s life just that – heavenly – by contributing to his care.
